Tolerance limits given in body of table are added to or subtracted from basic size (as indicated by + or sign) to obtain maximum and minimum sizes of mating parts.
All data above heavy lines are in accord with ABC agreements. Symbols H5, g4, etc. are hole and shaft designations in ABC system. Limits for sizes above 19.69
inches are also given in the ANSI Standard.

Tolerance limits given in body of table are added or subtracted to basic size (as indicated by + or sign) to obtain maximum and minimum sizes of mating parts.
All data above heavy lines are in accordance with American-British-Canadian (ABC) agreements. Symbols H6, H7, s6, etc. are hole and shaft designations in ABC
system. Limits for sizes above 19.69 inches are not covered by ABC agreements but are given in the ANSI Standard.
